Both Jiang and Shen families had only asked her to do notarization. What did it have to do with conscience?
“Madam, did you remember wrongly?” Lady Jiang was also dumbfounded by the words of the lady of the highest rank. It was completely different from what she thought.
The lady of the highest rank looked at Feng Tianlan and bowed apologetically as she said, “I am deeply sorry. Just because I did her a small favor, it had caused Eldest Miss Shen to be caught up in the gossip mill for nearly two months. I came here today for my atonement. I will tell the truth to give you justice.”
“Madam, please speak.” Feng Tianlan said blandly.
The lady of the highest rank stood up straight and took a look at Lady Jiang as well as Yuan Fangfei while she said, “At the beginning of April, three years ago, I was commissioned by the Jiang family to propose marriage to Second Miss Shen. Because Eldest Miss Shen was extremely ill, so the proposal was done with no great fanfare. But the marriage contract written during that time as well as the record in Magistrates’ Office…..”
Lady Jiang and Yuan Fangfei listened in a daze and then immediately reacted. They rushed over and said, “You’re talking nonsense.”
“Quiet.” Grand Elder directly released his God Supreme’s Spiritual Force and blocked out the two people.
The lady of the highest rank recounted the details of the marriage proposal at the time. The other two matchmakers also nodded in agreement with her words.
“Later Second Miss Shen and the Crown Prince got engaged. We should have gone to the Magistrates’ Office to annul the record of the betrothal with Jiang Ying. But due to various reasons, it have not been annulled until May this year. Both Jiang and Shen families commissioned me again. They said that they were afraid of affecting the relationship between Second Miss Shen and the Crown Prince, so they wanted us to matchmake again, letting the dead Eldest Miss Shen be the replacement in marriage. It would eliminate the record and also manifest Jiang Ying’s deep feelings.”
“I originally thought the matter was over just like that. But who knew that Eldest Miss Shen is still alive? Lady Shen made me accept the error and make the best out of it. But Eldest Miss Shen was tangled up in the crisis which made me terribly upset. So, I chose to come today before 10000 people to clear up the matter.”
“It was Shen Yunya, who was engaged to Jiang Ying from the beginning, and not Shen Qingdai who was always taken by Lady Shen as the sacrificial replacement in the marriage.” After saying that, the lady of the highest let out a long breath and added, “A person must always have a good conscience. Now, I can be at ease with it.”
“You’re talking nonsense. It’s all fake,” Yuan Fangfei and Lady Jiang roared, “Why are you helping Shen Qingdai harm us? How much benefits have you received from her? Your conscience has been eaten by the dogs.”
“I have not received any benefits from Eldest Miss Shen. But I had received a lot of benefits from Lady Shen and Lady Jiang. I felt shame in my heart and had not touched them. Now I can return them to you.” With that, she took out a lot of things from the Storage Ring and directly put them in front of both of them.
There were Spiritual Crystals, jewelry, and Pill Medicine. Especially with the jewelry, some of which could be discerned as specially made for the Shen Family.
Those were the words of a lady of the highest rank, who had the right to speak. Coupled with the evidence in front of them, the crowd suddenly hissed, and tongues were wagging.
“The one who claims connections of the powerful and rich and abandoned her childhood sweetheart and fiancé is Shen Yunya ah.”
“And Lady Shen was really ridiculous for saying she treated Shen Qingdai better than her own daughter. In the end, she actually made someone else’s daughter marry as the replacement. She was better off without such treatment.”
“Also, didn’t Jiang Ying say he liked Shen Qingdai for more than ten years? And how he kept himself chaste for three years after she passed away? As it turned out, he actually got engaged with Shen Yunya while she was in a critical condition.”
“Shen Qingdai had wanted to reveal the truth of her death. Could it be this? Did she suffer a double betrayal from the both of them and die from an excess of anger while she was still alive?”
“One may know a person for a long time without understanding his true nature. It is entirely possible. How terrible.”
“But Lady Shen had raised her for more than ten years. It could also be considered as a repayment of her kindness to let her marry as a replacement. It wasn’t too much, was it?
